Stay Clutter Free During The Holidays
Cookie baking, present shopping, and Christmas decorating are all fun things to look forward to during the holiday season. Many people don’t consider all of the excess during this time of fun and indulgence with loved ones. However, a clutter-free home is a stress-free home! Here are some tips to make the most out of the holiday season so you don’t have to let the clutter weigh you down.
Pre-holiday Decluttering
Having the in-laws over for Christmas dinner? Or maybe you volunteered your house to host a new year’s eve ball drop-watching party with your friends. Or perhaps it will just be you. Regardless of the crowd, or lack of it, treat yourself this holiday season with a clean and clutter-free home. Your home is your sanctuary from the rest of the world, and you deserve to be at peace in it. Use this time to finally clear out that old closet you’ve been meaning to go through or clean out the attic that’s been hanging over your head. Consider renting a dumpster for large-scale clean outs, or even contacting your local junk removal company for large appliance or furniture removal. Your future self will thank you.
Gift Exchanging
So you’ve teamed up with your local junk removal service and hauled out a year's worth of things that were no longer serving you. Now it’s time to exchange gifts with your loved ones, and potentially bring in all the stuff you just got rid of. At the same time, you value a junk-free and clutter-free home. What to do? To try to maintain a sustainable and junk-free home, consider discussing gift exchanging with your loved ones beforehand. Some ideas might include asking only for one single gift of something you really need, handmade gifts, or just putting an overall limit on the gifts. While giving gifts to others, consider upcycling any items that you don’t use that someone else could really enjoy. Whatever you choose, the goal is to minimize your future need for a junk removal service by keeping your space clean and clear.
Post-holiday Decluttering
You’ve survived the holidays, but used wrapping paper, ribbons, and empty packages fill your floor. According to a study, Americans produce about 43% more waste on average during the holidays. You may also need to get rid of items you already had, some of them large and heavy, before receiving the new gifts. The good news is that you don’t have to worry about removing all that trash, waste, debris, excess, and clutter yourself.
